Did someone say Hannibal?
Hannibal Lecter. See the post with the name of the car--Hannibal8 directly above Dr. Lecter's post. Put the two together--confused no more.I am confused.
With a compliment like this, I'll have to think long and hard if I ever consider changing it again. Thank you!It is quite simply your perfect altar ego. Self-deprecating, amusing yet sharp as a tack with it. I love it.
Some years ago, following a film-shooting, recreating the Rock 'N' Roll dancing of the 1950's, my wife and I posed on our Heritage Springer. The cameraman said that the end result looked like what you might imagine to be the sleeve cover of an Eddie Cochran LP. Some compliment. That photo is a cherished reminisce, for the bike, for the film shoot and for the fact that we actually got paid a decent rate. The reason it's not an avatar though is because my lady isn't a forum member, even though she lurks here all the time.Mine is my bike. And honestly with a 6 year old daughter I see more of it here than I do in real life. Every time I plan an early Sunday ride I find myself wandering around Target with my ladies stuffing a breakfast sandwich down my throat.
My dad was a car nut in the 60's and 70's. He used to take me to Cars of the Stars in Buena Park (just up from Knott's Berry Farm). My favorite was the Hannibal 8. View attachment 44045 They had 3 versions. One you could sit in while it went up and down.
If you've never seen the movie "The Great Race" I highly recommend it!
Tony Curtis, Jack Lemon, Peter Falk, and Natalie Wood: an all time favorite of mine
Well you live & learn.The Wacky Races was based partly on that same film!
The funny thing is, that was an image I found doing a Google search. Created by Jeffro Kilpatrick, it was created to promote/advertise a Philadelphia Cartoonist Society Hobo Day on June 4, 2011. Here's the original artwork:
I made some changes to make it more generic, changed the flat cap to a fedora (though I do have a version with the cap), and made the colors a little more vibrant, and ended up with my current avatar. Compared to some of the members here I dress like a 'Bo, so I thought it was appropriate.
I probably did. It's hard to keep track of 'em all now that I'm getting older and my mind is...ooooh, look, a squirrel!Didn't you have another caricature avatar in the past? I seem to remember one (or more).
My initial avatar was Coppola with a firearm ala Heart of Darkness, but was tapped by a bartender telling me to chill...
That woman is the worst villain in any film I've seen. Horrendous person.
